Notes on Instructor Training and All Teaching Courses
These courses are geared towards professionals in the fitness industry and although they are open to all who have an interest and passion for Mind Body exercise, these workshops will be taught with the assumption that you have previous knowledge and experience in these disciplines. All persons will be required to fill out an application detailing previous experience in the movement/fitness/health and wellness field. To provide the best possible course offering, some candidates may be asked to acquire additional experience before attending these workshops.
